Introduction : C, G, Am7/E, G, C x 4 (quick change on the G)
C
When I lost my mind I swear I met this bloke,
Am7/E
and he told me lots of things but just a few stick out,
C
and he said "don't get yourself a job no roof or day plans to
G
just take a gamble, and see what life has for you.
C
Take your time, and see the things you wanna see,"
Am7/E
and I'm like "wow man I think that sounds just like me but,
C
it's not as easy as you're making out" and he said
G
"no but if you never try you're never gonna find out so"
C
well we went our separate ways,
Am7/E
and he got me thinking, about all the things I'd like to be but,
C
I've got it wrong before, and I can't think no more,
G
and I can't focus, right now on anything so,
C
I know a place in Breda Town,
Am7/E
It's not quite Amsterdam but man it's done me proud.
C
Cos I'm not quite the man I know I used to be,
G
but I quite like that and I think it suits me.
C
and while I'm writing this I know it's getting old,
Am7/E
and it's not long until I catch the bus from Dijon city hall and I,
C
I need more herb and a stimulating view,
G
and I just got chatting to this Dutch bird too.
C
I know I'm kinda quiet and I must seem strange,
Am7/E
but I just like listening to all the things you're saying and I,
C
I wouldn't wanna lie or make you look a fool,
G
cos I really like you , and your friends are so cool.
C
I know that I might take my time.
Am7/E
But I'm just in a funny space in my mind.
C
Sometimes it feels just a bit too much but,
G
damn I'm just so middle class these little things just get me down so,
C
I know a place in Breda Town,
Am7/E
It's not quite Amsterdam but man it's done me proud.
C
Cos I'm not quite the man I know I used to be,
G
but I quite like that and I think it suits me.
C
I know a place in Breda town,
Am7/E
IT's not quite Amsterdam but man it's done me proud.
C
Cos I'm not quite the man I know I used to be,
G
but I quite like that and I think it suits me...
C
Fine.
